Choosing the right shelving units for your living room (and the rest of your house) is made easy with the modular shelving units offered by Santos.

Modular shelving systems

Big or small, open, closed, or half-closed, free-standing or suspended, minimalist or coloured… the modular shelving units from Santos are a highly customisable, high-quality solution for all your storage needs. Whether you want to add character to your living room, set up an office corner, or inject life into your dining room, the modular shelving systems can be adapted to suit you. Available in a large range of lengths, widths and heights, there’s truly a unit for everyone.  

For a harmonious interior 

More than 70 available colours are available for the modular shelving units

Our modular units can be built with closed units as well as open shelving. This is an ideal solution if you’d like to display decorative objects whilst also having space for items that you’d rather keep out of sight (and mind).  

For the shelving system finishes, there are more than 700 colours on the RAL colour chart available to choose from, plus the option to mix-and-match colours. You can also pick from the same finishes as available for Santos’ kitchen units, which include melamine, laminate, lacquer and wood veneer. Choosing the same finishes for your living room shelving units and other units around the house is a brilliant way to create harmony in your home. 

Shelving units for living rooms and beyond: some inspiration 

Practical as they may be, shelving units are not purely for functional purposes. At eba, we want multifunctional furniture that serves its purpose and looks beautiful, and our modular shelving units are no different.  

Here are some examples of our shelving systems to give you inspiration on how you might customise them for your own space.  

An organised work space

Large office space with an open shelving system on the back wall

In this large office space, the back wall has been dedicated to storage. The large panel of open shelves, each of differing lengths, leaves space for wheel-mounted drawer storage units, as well as a small unit on the ground.

A chic interior

Suspended shelving unit for the living room with alternating wood veneer panels

This alternating open and closed living room shelving unit in wood veneer brings a chic feeling to the large living space. Built-in lighting highlights books and ornaments on display, whilst the closed shelving units store less decorative everyday objects.

Sideboard with suspended shelving

Wall space is being used to its full potential in this well-lit dining room, with a combination of suspended open shelving and closed sideboard storage. Once again, the open shelves are used for more decorative items, whilst the closed units provide storage for dishes and crockery. 

As the room is very light, darker tones of anthracite grey give character to the space, contrasting with the white walls and floor.  

An office with alternate finishes

If you’re someone who finds it difficult to choose, don’t feel that you have to. Here at eba, we offer the possibility of combining several different finishes to create a truly unique piece of furniture. This home-owner opted for alternating panels of a stone-patterned mural and anthracite grey closed units.  

An oak shelving system

This modular shelving unit, mixing open shelving and a sideboard in oak veneer, would suit almost any living space. Wood brings warmth and character to the space, inviting us to settle in with a good book or work project.  

An 100% black marble ambiance
